Nā Inoa Hōkū

Hawaiian and Pacific Star Names, Third Edition

RUBELLITE KAWENA JOHNSON, JOHN KAIPO MAHELONA, AND CLIVE RUGGLES; EDITED BY CLIVE RUGGLES

The first edition of Nā Inoa Hōkū, published in 1975, reignited global interest in Hawaiian and Pacific star knowledge and navigation at a critical time, coinciding with the epic first journey of the Hawaiian voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻ a. This third edition is a hugely expanded version of Rubellite Kawena Johnson and John Kaipo Mahelona’s seminal book, representing a quarter century of collaboration between the original authors and cultural astronomer Clive Ruggles. It remains true to Johnson’s initial objective not only to document Hawaiian star names used in navigation, mythology, and genealogy, but also to foster a much broader cultural and linguistic comprehension of Oceanic sky knowledge

Nā Inoa Hōkū: Hawaiian and Pacific Star Names, Third Edition is a compendium of the available information on traditional astronomical knowledge in the Pacific region. It comprises a major synthesis of what we know about Hawaiians’ understanding of the skies, celestial navigation, and calendrical practices, as well as insights into cosmology and religious ideology Additionally, the three comparative star catalogues—Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Austronesian—represent an unparalleled reference compilation derived from a wide range of Indigenous, historical, and ethnographic accounts. These are accompanied by a “Western identifications” table with cross-references from Western to Oceanic star names and appendices listing modern star terminology and the various islands and ethnolinguistic groups.

The section on Hawaiian knowledge and sources is enhanced by detailed interpretations and explanations that clarify many earlier transcription errors and misunderstandings. Key texts from Hawaiian-language newspapers are shown alongside new translations by Mahelona, ranging from short articles by Samuel Kamakau in the 1850s and 1860s to Benjamin K. Nāmakaokeahi’s thirty-part history of the priesthood of Kanalu published in 1900 and 1901, and beyond Also included are documents recently uncovered in the Bishop Museum Archives in Honolulu and the Cambridge University Library in the UK, along with an unpublished archive that includes firsthand testimony collected in the early twentieth century by historian Theodore Kelsey A definitive resource for Hawaiian cultural practitioners, this book is of particular value to cultural astronomers and linguists worldwide and an essential reference for anyone interested in Pacific history and culture

Voices of Wisdom Hawaiian Elders Speak

MJ HARDEN; PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEVE BRINKMAN; WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY JONATHAN KAY KAMAKAWIWOʻOLE OSORIO AND JAMAICA HEOLIMELEIKALANI OSORIO

“These kūpuna sought to pass forward what they had been given. We receive these makana with care and gratitude: the opportunity to be immersed in the mo ʻolelo and mele of our people; the embodied knowledge of hula and the nourishment of kalo; the shared practice of celebrating Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea alongside our closest ʻohana and friends; the experience of sailing aboard our traditional navigating vessels, carried deep into the realm of our akua. Each of our living cultural and political traditions continues because these elders tended them long enough to place them into our hands. When we carry these practices forward in service of our keiki and mo ʻ opuna, we honor that care and make ourselves worthy of their sacrifices. In doing so, we become kūpuna too” —From the new foreword by Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwoʻole Osorio and Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio

Through the voices of twenty-four Hawaiian elders, all experts in their respective fields of traditional arts, practices, and knowledge, we learn about Hawaiian culture and its values. In the 1990s, author MJ Harden interviewed these kūpuna, asking what they would like to pass on to the next generation, and photographer Steve Brinkman took portraits of each kupuna in their own element. Voices of Wisdom lovingly presents their words and images in a way that feels as if we are in the room with them. Each chapter is a rich, thought-provoking encounter with a member of a generation—now mostly passed—that led the Hawaiian cultural renaissance of the late twentieth century Due in large part to their dedicated efforts, Hawaiian culture thrives today

Realms of Islands

VICTORIA NALANI KNEUBUHL

Welcome to Oceania, where verdant islands are connected by endless blue seas and the presence of the ancestors is as palpable as the passing rains. Realms of Islands tells the story of several generations of women from a singular island family, both blessed and burdened by ancestral legacies of extraordinary powers and the inheritance of a house imbued with spectral channels.

The story begins as two matriarchs gifted with spiritual prowess set off on journeys with ramifications that ripple through space and time Felesina ventures into the Sāmoan underworld for a sacred tree that will ensure the posterity of her family while Hannah Greenwood passes through a door that takes her away from the English countryside into a never-ending voyage across Oceania. Their choices and the subsequent melding of their genealogical lines creates women of remarkable character, with their descendants inheriting spirit magic, trials, and a legacy of sacrifice

As generations shift, so too do the decades. Some descendants navigate the chaotic nineteenth-century Pacific, witnessing the violence of overthrown native governments and the lawlessness of beach colonies, while others weather the changing tides of the twentieth century Whether they deny their heritage or embrace their gifts, each family member must grapple with finding balance between the realms of the spirit and the earth along with their two very different—and often conflicting—cultural backgrounds. This epic tale of love and sacrifice from award-winning writer Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl presents the enduring bonds tying one family to their cherished homelands and to each other Lyrical, expansive, and layered, Realms of Islands builds new bridges of understanding to our ancestral heritage and the people from the vast archipelagos of the Pacific.

Aunty Uncle Dog Chicken Bee

TIARE PICARD

Aunty Uncle Dog Chicken Bee is the story of community and movement. Through an exploration of prose poetry, lyric, sound poetry, and character sketches, Tiare Picard tells the stories of the aunties and the uncles, the dogs and the chickens, and the bees all around us, who forge their homes in a world that marginalizes them. Picard guides us through a community in ʻAiea, one uncannily familiar to Hawaiʻi residents and those abroad alike. Neighbors struggle against the ever-growing economic gap, animals slip through broken chain-link fences, there is a precarity in these quiet existences. Yet in these shared spaces, the people are vibrant, determined, and alive in a way that defies societal classification.

Capturing complex layers of island culture and challenging inequitable structures of power, this collection gives voice to the people and the beings who all too often exist in the outskirts of Hawaiʻi’s stories. Each poem portrays the movement of people, the movement of poetic forms, and the movement of language itself as the text shifts fluidly from English to Pidgin English and back again.

Aunty Uncle Dog Chicken Bee invites us to appreciate the living, the agile, the fragile, and the steady hum of bees.

Speak American

The Politics of Race, Language, and Education in Territorial Hawai‘i

CHRISTINE R YANO

Speak American explores how language tied together race, power, and citizenship in Territorial Hawai‘i from 1924 to 1960 via the public K–12 English Standard School System. In this segregated system, children were tested for spoken English fluency: those who passed were placed in elite classes or schools, while others remained in regular classrooms. Proposed by white mothers, the policy used language as a tool to implement de facto racial separation, privileging those who already spoke English rather than teaching it to those who didn’t. This dynamic was enabled by “listening regimes” (disciplinary practices that trained educators and the public to listen for and reward Standard English), while marginalizing Hawai‘i Creole English, the everyday language of plantation and urban life.

Drawing on archival records, interviews, and school alumni events, the book introduces the concept of the “panauricon”—a listening-based counterpart to Foucault’s visual panopticon—to describe how language surveillance reinforced and extended social hierarchies. A century later, debates over monolingualism and national identity persist, making this study of Hawai‘i’s historic linguistic politics both timely and urgent.

The Filipino Federation of America

A History of a Socio-Religious Movement, 1925–1975

STEFFI SAN BUENAVENTURA, EDITED BY DAVID K. YOO AND ENRIQUE DE LA CRUZ

This study examines the early history of Filipino migration to Hawai‘i and California from the 1920s, with particular attention to the Filipino Federation of America. Originating as a voluntary mutual-aid society and later developing into a revitalization and messianic movement, the Federation provides a distinctive lens through which to understand the Filipino American experience.

As a racial-ethnic social movement, the Federation exemplified how Filipino immigrants drew upon indigenous worldviews and cultural resources to sustain community life in America. It offered its members a fraternal refuge, fostered strong expressions of Filipino nationalism, and contributed to the emergence of a racial and ethnic consciousness among immigrants in the United States.

The Federation’s membership was drawn largely from young, single male migrant laborers—the sakadas who worked on Hawai‘i’s plantations and California’s farms. Their collective experience of racial discrimination, economic exploitation, and cultural isolation highlights the broader struggles of Filipino immigrants and their strategies for survival

At once local and transnational, the Federation also maintained active linkages to the Philippines, where leaders and members engaged in political and religious aspects of the movement. As such, it represents both a significant microcosm of the Filipino immigrant experience in America and an important case study in transnational migration history.

Our Eyes Advise Us

Marshall Islanders Confronting Disease, Climate, and Colonial Violence in the Nineteenth Century

MONICA C. LABRIOLA

With Our Eyes Advise Us: Marshall Islanders Confronting Disease, Climate, and Colonial Violence in the Nineteenth Century, Monica C. LaBriola fundamentally reorients our understanding of nineteenth century Marshall Islands history by foregrounding the expertise of Marshallese historians, cultural authorities, and scholars. This groundbreaking book centers bwebwenato (histories, stories) and jabōnkōnnaan (proverbs) to create a vivid account of Marshall Islanders navigating encounters with European, American, and Native Hawaiian outlanders, as well as the challenges posed by environmental upheaval, an influx of foreign diseases, and colonial violence against women and the wider community

By privileging Marshallese archives, this volume provides a compelling reexamination of four well-documented episodes: the local reception of the Russian Rurik expedition in 1817, the rebellion against the American whaleship Globe mutineers in 1824, the endorsement of Protestant Christianity and the islands’ first Christian church in 1857, and the sale of Likiep Atoll to European copra traders in 1877. Throughout, LaBriola shows that oral traditions point to Marshallese women as key protagonists in these first-contact events and in Marshall Islands history as a whole, their deep cultural authority rendering them vital to decision-making and broadly influential in their families and communities.

Grounded in Marshallese language and poignant Indigenous accounts, Our Eyes Advise Us offers a model for decolonizing history and reimagining the past. It is an essential contribution to Pacific studies, folklore studies, and anthropology that highlights the power of Indigenous knowledge and the resilience of Indigenous historical traditions.

Experiencing Islandness Oceans and Beyond

EDITED BY FRANK HEIDEMANN AND PHILIPP SCHORCH

Through the words of twenty contributors, this volume addresses the dialectic relationship between islands and islanders as well as the resulting ways of life produced by this interrelation, a condition considered here as “islandness.” It proposes “islandness” as a lens through which to investigate “insular” settings across oceans and interrogate the geographical category of an “island.” What different conceptualizations of islandness can be discerned in various parts of the world? How do these conceptualizations frame experiences of time and space? How does this shape human perceptions, cultural practices, as well as relationships and interactions with other-than-human entities? In what ways do insular sensibilities configure ways of being and moving in historical and contemporary contexts?

Islandness is an emergent quality; it is a process that the contributors explore theoretically, historically, and ethnographically by approaching diverse regions—the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Highland Asia, Europe, and Latin America—from different disciplinary perspectives. In analyzing these complexities through the lens of islandness, the volume draws transcultural and transregional comparisons in order to shed light on the human-environmental condition.

The book’s fifteen chapters deal with both literal and metaphorical islandness across three parts: Oceania, Indian Ocean, and Beyond Each section explores the processes through which islandness becomes constituted and the practices in which it becomes enacted by establishing and comparing relating regional contexts. Thus, the volume traces ways of experiencing islandness with a dual focus on the empirical dimension—the lived realities and temporalities of islandness—and the metaphorical plane—the ideas of islands or island settings that inform experiences of islandness.

For scholars interested in seeing the “island” beyond the ocean, Experiencing Islandness: Oceans and Beyond shows that the metaphorical power of islands frames experiences all around the world

Talking About Buddhism

Two Lifetimes of Learning, Teaching, and (Some) Practice

ROBERT E. BUSWELL JR AND DONALD S. LOPEZ JR

“Buswell and Lopez are learned, companionable interlocutors, whose discussions of traditional and modern approaches to Buddhism bring out much of interest and importance. Reading their conversations is like listening to two great teachers who know how to communicate with each other, and with us, without getting lost in the scholarly weeds.” Roger Roger Jackson Jackson, author of Rebirth: A Guide to Mind, Karma, and Cosmos in the Buddhist World

“Talking about Buddhism presents not only the expected academic rigor and depth that both of these scholars have become known for but also a deeply personal look into the lives of two of the most influential Buddhologists of our time. While many scholars have understandably held their experience of the lived tradition at arm’s length, with this work Buswell and Lopez bring together study and practice in a way that elevates the virtues of both.” James Shaheen Shaheen, editor-in-chief, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review

What do Buddhists mean by enlightenment?

Does enlightenment unfold gradually or is it revealed in a sudden flash of insight?

Does spiritual experience create belief or does belief create spiritual experience?

Does the study of Buddhist philosophy hinder meditation or enhance it?

What is the role of compassion in the theory and practice of Buddhism?

What (and where) is nirvana?

And what does it mean to be a Buddhist in the twenty-first century?

In a series of insightful, instructive, and entertaining conversations, renowned Buddhist scholars Robert Buswell and Donald Lopez tackle these and other crucial questions in the history of Buddhism. Drawing from the Buddhist schools and teachings of India, Tibet, China, Thailand, and Korea, Buswell and Lopez explore why these traditions seem so different while still sharing so much. In the course of their conversations, they recall their fifty-year journeys from spiritual seekers to university professors, encountering some of the greatest Buddhist masters of the last half century along the way.

Temples and Teahouses

Buddhism and Secularity in Twenty-First-Century China

GARETH FISHER

Temples and Teahouses delves into the daily lives of Buddhist monastics, lay practitioners, entrepreneurs, and government officials working to expand Buddhism in a highly secular country Drawing on two decades of ethnographic research in cities throughout China, author Gareth Fisher explores how these determined visionaries collaborated to restore temples and open teahouses to meet growing demand for Buddhist practice spaces. Some sought to revive traditional practices such as devotion to Amitabha while others offered new programs that included charitable work and mindfulness meditation to address the changing needs of urban people

Through an analysis of their efforts, Fisher examines the paradoxical relationship between Buddhism and secularity, defined by philosopher Charles Taylor not as religion’s absence but as an awareness of both immanent and transcendent possibilities of being. The urban Buddhist communities Fisher encountered challenged religion’s separation from everyday life under secularization while simultaneously establishing new boundaries between the religious and secular They transformed temples and teahouses into refuges from the demands and materialistic values of modern city life—into “ spaces of otherwise” where they could explore novel ways of thinking while navigating the cross-pressures of living both Buddhist and secular lives.

Temples and Teahouses will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in the role of Buddhism in modernity, the place of lived religion in contemporary Chinese society, and the relationship between religion and secularism.

Dome of Heaven Buddhist Architecture Along the Silk Road

DI LUO AND GERALD KOZICZ

“This refined and sophisticated survey of Buddhist domes in major sites along the ancient Silk Road will be an excellent resource for many scholars in the fields of Asian art and architecture and Buddhist studies.” Mariachiara Gasparini Gasparini, author of Transcending Patterns: Silk Road Cultural and Artistic Interactions through Central Asian Textile Images

“By setting Central Asia at the core of its analysis, Dome of Heaven offers a new perspective on the history of Buddhist art and architecture, one that is highly original and beneficial to our reaching a deeper understanding of the development of Buddhist visual culture in interaction with architecture on the Silk Road.” Satomi Hiyama Hiyama, coauthor of Traces of the Sarvāstivādins in the Buddhist Monasteries of Kucha

Dome of Heaven enters the long-standing debate in architectural history on the origins and significance of the dome as both an idea and a building technique. Examining the material evidence and intellectual foundations of Buddhist ceilings in a trans-Eurasian context, Di Luo and Gerald Kozicz reveal the multiple genealogies and meanings of the Buddhist dome to unravel the deep-seated connections between the East and the West and the “in-between” in architectural and astronomical knowledge and practice during the first millennium.

On the Indian subcontinent, the arched shape of the dome emerged from Śākyamuni’s “fragrant chamber,” the first Buddhist temple and the embodiment of ascetism. As the Mahayana and Vajrayana schools spread across Asia along the Silk Road, this humble design evolved to incorporate increasingly complex cosmological diagrams, pictorial and calligraphic, in ceiling spaces, culminating in a mandalic universe pivoting around Mount Meru, the center of the Buddhist cosmos.

Foregrounding areas often described as “peripheries” to the great Silk Road empires, Luo and Kozicz establish a geographical framework for the Buddhist Dome of Heaven. They identify three major channels of transmission: the trans-Hindukush, the trans-Taklamakan, and the trans-Himalayan. Along these routes, builders traded ideas and goods like architectural models and miniatures, facilitating exchanges that shaped Buddhist domes into vessels of the ethical universe, visual and kinesthetic aids to meditation, and roadmaps to enlightenment.

Abundantly illustrated with more than eighty drawings, 3D models, maps, and photographs, Dome of Heaven offers a wealth of insights into the creation of a theological world order through spatial choreography, iconography, and pictorial storytelling

Animating Action

Changing the World with Anime, Rituals, and Robots

YULIA FRUMER, AIKE P ROTS, AND JOLYON BARAKA THOMAS

How do humans invest nonhuman entities with agency, personhood, and feelings? Responding to calls to reconsider human-nonhuman relations in a time of global polycrisis, Animating Action offers a novel framework for imagining connections between animated matter and political action. Rather than studying animism as a specific cultural tradition distinct from supposedly non-animistic cultures and their putatively disenchanted worldviews, the authors argue that practices of animation are universal, even as they stress that specific methods of animation differ according to time and place

Drawing on their expertise in the history of science, religious studies, media studies, and the environmental humanities, the authors present a new theory of animation as action. Through cases from contemporary Japan, Vietnam, and elsewhere, they investigate how humans make persons through rituals, use the technique of compositing to construct worlds in illustrated films, and evoke feelings and associations to forge a sense of intimacy with robots. Additionally, they show how humans deanimate entities that have become unruly, dysfunctional, or unwanted

These concrete practices have political consequences. Animated films may encourage audiences to accept the environmentally destructive status quo, while robotic designs may naturalize and reinforce harmful gender hierarchies and biases. But animating practices also hold transformative political potential: a person-making ritual may give animals voice in courts of law, and the very techniques roboticists use to evoke positive feelings in human users can provide fruitful models for resisting the harmful effects of technologies that manipulate users by emulating agency and empathy

Animating Action does not simply advocate an alternative worldview or story. Rather, it shows how people can deploy existing animation techniques to change the world for the better It offers both a call to action and a model for how to instigate transformative change.

Lu Xun

TAKEUCHI

YOSHIMI, TRANSLATED BY JOSHUA A. FOGEL AND JON EUGENE VON KOWALLIS

“Ro Jin (Lu Xun) by Takeuchi Yoshimi, translated by Joshua A. Fogel and Jon Eugene von Kowallis, begins with two detailed introductory essays followed by the first complete English translation of Takeuchi’s seminal study of Lu Xun. The introductions are themselves important contributions to the field of Lu Xun studies, contextualizing Takeuchi’s interpretations of Lu Xun’s works, life, and philosophy, as well as Takeuchi’s position within Japanese intellectual culture and, even more timely, his rising importance within contemporary scholarly discourse in today's China. Takeuchi’s Ro Jin is a highly-nuanced intellectual history, drawing on philosophy, history, literary criticism, aesthetics, and politics to situate Lu Xun and his writings. As one of the most important studies of Lu Xun to appear in the decades following his death, it deserves recognition as a foundational text in the field of Lu Xun studies.” Nicholas A. A. Kaldis Kaldis, Binghamton University (SUNY)

“Takeuchi Yoshimi’s Ro Jin embodies a singular moment in modern Sino-Japanese literary exchanges. First published at the height of Japan’s desperate war efforts in 1944, this criticism not only contrived to leave a decisive mark on postwar Japan’s self-reflective engagement with Lu Xun’s life and work. It also managed to see a potent revival amid postsocialist China’s pertinacious revaluations of the origins of its modern literature that Lu Xun had established. Informed by unparalleled philological precision and rich contextualization, Fogel’s and Kowallis’s bold translation challenges scholars and students of Chinese, Japanese, and comparative literature to untangle its tortuous, living, and indispensable legacy in transregional East Asia.” Satoru Satoru Hashimoto Hashimoto, Johns Hopkins University

Lu Xun (1881–1936), generally considered modern China’s most important writer of fiction, social commentary, and literary criticism, had considerable contact with Japanese of all stripes and was himself a major consumer of Japanese writings. His short stories were translated numerous times by various hands in Japan and have circulated widely there, beginning in his lifetime and ever since The first major work by a Japanese scholar and public intellectual on Lu Xun’s life and work was that of Takeuchi Yoshimi (1910–1977), which he titled simply Ro Jin (Lu Xun).

Students of Lu Xun have been influenced by Takeuchi’s work and his book has attracted keen interest in China as well, where he was considered to have played a major role as Lu Xun’s foremost exponent in East Asia.

Beyond the Nation-State

From Geopolitical Discourse to Civilizational Dialogues

EDITED BY ROGER T AMES AND JAE YOUNG LEE

In an era marked by geopolitical fragmentation and global crises, how can we envision a more stable and inclusive planetary order? This pioneering volume calls for a radical rethinking of international relations—moving beyond the Westphalian state system to embrace a civilizational dialogue rooted in shared histories, values, and mutual concern. The collection brings together leading scholars to explore the idea of tianxia (All under heaven) as a conceptual and moral framework for reimagining global order. Drawing from East Asian traditions and others, contributors interrogate concepts like empire, liberalism, Confucianism, and cosmopolitanism to assess the possibilities of intercultural cooperation in a post-national future

At the heart of the book is a critical yet hopeful proposition: that civilizational dialogues—despite the exclusionary implications of such discourse—can help us imagine planetary futures beyond binaries like “the West and the Rest.” Instead of universalizing one worldview, the chapters advocate for “differing for one another,” a relational equity that acknowledges diversity and fosters solidarity through accommodation, empathy, and shared planetary concerns such as climate, pandemics, and global justice

With contributions spanning political theory and comparative philosophy to historical reflection and Confucian civic education, Beyond the Nation-State offers not only a critique of current global paradigms but also a constructive path forward

Daoism, Internal Alchemy, and the Wonders of Serenity Tenth Through Eighteenth Centuries

STEPHEN ESKILDSEN

“Over the last three decades Stephen Eskildsen has created a unique body of scholarship, delving deeply into Daoist ascetic and meditational practices. Characteristic of his work is a profound understanding of the internal logics and motivations that drove practitioners to ever greater attainments. His current book builds on his earlier study of Daoist meditation from the Latter Han to Tang dynasties to provide a comprehensive picture spanning nearly two millennia. It is an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners.”

Daniel Burton-Rose Burton-Rose, Wenzhou-Kean University

“What emerges from this masterful exegetical study is an immersive history of Daoist internal alchemy’s cosmology, doctrines, methodologies, and generations of adepts and masters. Eskildsen’s book fills a major gap in western language publications by broadening significantly our understanding of Daoist inner alchemy in late imperial China.”

Xun Liu Liu, Rutgers University

Simply keeping the mind clear and calm was, for many post-Tang Daoists, the path to eternal life and freedom. Through sheer serenity, practitioners believed they could attain immunity to hunger, eliminate sexual function, suspend breath and pulse, engage in astral travel, and command spirits and natural forces.

In his meticulously researched study, Stephen Eskildsen examines how this perspective informed Daoist internal alchemists after the Tang dynasty (618–907), including prominent representatives of the Quanzhen tradition in the north and the Nanzong in the south. These adepts emphasized passive, straightforward methods that they believed gave rise to spontaneous psychic, sensory, and physiological phenomena—approaches they considered more effective than manipulating mind and body with overly complicated techniques. By advocating for the maintenance of serenity throughout a mundane life, they articulated a unified vision of the Three Teachings—Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism—and frequently cited Confucian and Buddhist texts while reinterpreting and adapting their teachings.

Offering a compelling contribution to the understanding of Daoism after the Tang, Eskildsen sheds light on a strand of internal alchemy that pursued the sustained cultivation of mental clarity and equanimity above all else

Shogun Avatar

The Worship of Tokugawa Ieyasu in Early Modern Japan

TIMON SCREECH

Shogun Avatar explores the transformation of Japan’s first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543–1616), from warlord to deity. Although deifications had become largely obsolete, Ieyasu’s death in 1616 triggered a remarkable series of events: He was declared a Shintō god, or Great Bright Kami, but almost immediately the proclamation was revoked, and his body exhumed and relocated. Ieyasu was then re-deified as an avatar, that is, a Shintō god who was also a buddha’s earthly emanation. His new status allowed Ieyasu to be receptive to prayers while drawing on the higher power of Buddhism.

Under the supervision of the great Tendai monk Tenkai (1536–1643), a shrine-temple mausoleum befitting the Lord Avatar was constructed at Nikkō, near Edo in eastern Japan. This project revitalized the region following years of civil war and initiated decades of construction that would result in one of the grandest Buddhist complexes in the country. Timon Screech examines the theological foundations, architectural innovations, and artistic achievements of both Ieyasu's original and final burial sites, together with their ritual and ongoing meanings. He traces the political tensions between the shogunate and the Kyoto court that prompted Ieyasu's grandson Tokugawa Iemitsu (1604–1651) to launch Nikkō’s massive reconstruction in 1636. The expanded complex attracted not only worshippers but also crowds of sightseers, establishing a tradition that continues today. Screech follows Nikkō's evolution over 250 years as it became central to shogunal authority and samurai identity Tokugawa descendants and regional lords established branch shrine-temples throughout Japan to promote worship of the Lord Avatar, seeking his divine guidance during the turbulent later Edo period, when pressures from foreign nations both heightened the need for and challenged the efficacy of his protection.

The last shogun surrendered to Imperial Japan in 1868, but Nikkō endures and remains one of Japan’s prime religious sites and visitor destinations. Shogun Avatar reveals how this sacred complex has continuously reinvented its meaning while maintaining its significance across the centuries.

How Buddhism Spread in Japan, 650–850

BRYAN D. LOWE

Between the late seventh and early ninth centuries, Japan changed from a land largely without Buddhism to a country where Buddhist ideas, images, and practices were everywhere. The introduction of Buddhism transformed the social and intellectual life of the provinces. Regions that once lacked temples suddenly had so many that virtually every village had a place of worship nearby. People began to understand their world in new ways, imagining previously inconceivable possibilities for themselves in this life and the next. This was arguably the most dramatic religious transformation in the history of Japan.

How Buddhism Spread in Japan is the first book to tell the story of this religious revolution in the Japanese provinces. Bryan D Lowe, a leading expert on Japanese religions, argues against the standard view that Buddhism first reached ordinary people in the provinces in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. This bold study offers a new narrative for the history of Japanese religions, one that dates Buddhism’s spread centuries earlier than standard accounts. Lowe highlights the agency of provincial patrons, mobile monks, female preachers, and rural villagers, who worked together to bring Buddhism to the Japanese countryside

How Buddhism Spread in Japan also introduces new methods for reading archaeological and textual materials in tandem. Drawing upon an archive of hundreds of thousands of pieces of inscribed pottery, roof tiles, and wooden slips, it uses material culture to uncover the religious lives of villagers on the geographic and social margins of Japan. Lowe reads this corpus alongside Buddhist tales and previously untranslated preaching notes to reconstruct the worldview and practices of provincial villagers. He combines archaeological and preaching materials to access this otherwise invisible world Written in accessible and engaging prose, How Buddhism Spread in Japan undermines long-cherished narratives in the field of Japanese Buddhism and makes a methodological intervention of interest to scholars of classical and medieval studies more broadly

The Disease of Money

Japan's Monetization in the

Early Middle Ages

MIKAEL S. ADOLPHSON

The twelfth century was a pivotal time in Japan’s history It witnessed intense factionalism at the imperial court in Kyoto, Japan’s first national civil war, and above all the rise of warriors to national prominence, culminating with the establishment of Japan’s first warrior government, the Kamakura Shogunate. This dramatic power shift has understandably dominated historical debates. However, focusing almost exclusively on military and political narratives led scholarship to overlook the extraordinary economic transformation that unfolded in parallel.

Beginning in the mid-twelfth century, Japan transformed from a rice economy to one based on cash coins imported from China. For the next three centuries, transactions, tax collections, and even fines were expressed in terms of copper coins, which in turn spurred the emergence of trade cities, new classes of merchants and artisans, and the establishment of guilds. And yet not a single coin was issued in Japan. This “minting-less” monetization seemingly stood in sharp contrast to developments in medieval Europe, where monetization went hand in hand with rulers who struck their own coins.

Adolphson offers an analysis of this initial import of Chinese coins and its subsequent monetization through three lenses. First, he provides a contextual and macroeconomic explanation by looking at the context of East Asian trade, where the political and economic developments in Song China also played an especially vital role Second, the matter of agency behind the import of and demand for coins is dealt with in depth, revealing that several groups played key roles, but above all that Chinese merchants were the most influential agents. Finally, in an effort to put Japan’s medieval monetization into a disciplinary perspective, a comparison is made with Scandinavia around the same time It shows that while Japan took a different route to its monetization, there were also comparable situations in Europe

By moving beyond the warrior-centric view, The Disease of Money uncovers a richer, more complex portrait of medieval Japan—one of innovation, adaptation, and global economic connectivity

The Excremental Imagination

Disgust, Compassion, and Laughter in Medieval Japan

RAJYASHREE PANDEY

“The Excremental Imagination is the product of extensive research and a masterful command of the materials covered.” Andrew Andrew Goble Goble, University of Oregon

“Excrement abounded in medieval Japanese literature—yes, signifying disgust and played for laughs, as we might expect, but also serving to elicit compassion and even to trouble binaries of purity and impurity and attachment and enlightenment. Pandey’s nuanced readings of Buddhist, literary, and pictorial texts reveal the protean reach of that ‘pliant and malleable signifier.’ This is a must-read for anyone interested in medieval literature or the history of our relationship to excrement.” David L. L. Howell Howell, Harvard University

“I love this book! It pushes over outdated clichés of ‘oriental spirituality,’ grabs the reader by the collar and holds them over the cesspool, where we perforce can smell the genial humor of Buddhist authors laughing at the inherently insecure nature of our body and its capacity for subversion. The book deals robustly, cheerfully, and respectfully with topics that are universal yet often shunned in western public discourse: farting, pissing, and shitting.” Andrew Andrew Skilton Skilton, University of Oxford

The Excremental Imagination takes the reader on a journey into uncharted territory, tracking the presence of faecal matter in the diverse narratives of medieval Japan. Providing close textual readings of Buddhist canonical writings, popular tales, romance narratives, and pictorial scrolls, it boldly addresses a subject which, for the most part, has been excised from intellectual life—something deemed too disgusting or infantile to merit serious academic attention. Here we encounter a highborn lady who farts in her lover’s presence, an eccentric monk who defecates in the imperial precincts, and a noted calligrapher who uses an imperial anthology of poetry to mop up his diarrhea. These stories form only a portion of the large corpus of tales that Rajyashree Pandey brings together for the first time in this book.

The Excremental Imagination treats shit with the seriousness it deserves without losing sight of the playful nature of the material with which it engages. It urges us to cast aside our contemporary prejudices to better understand and appreciate a place and time very different from our own.

Give Us Our Blue Skies Back Housewives,

Science, and the Struggle for Environmental Justice in Postwar Japan, 1950–1969

ANNA SCHRADE

Give Us Our Blue Skies Back traces one of Japan’s earliest and most enduring environmental movements, led by the Tobata Ward Collaborative Women’s Association in Kitakyushu from 1950 to 1969. At a time when pollution was celebrated as a symbol of industrial progress, nearly seven thousand housewives—most of them ordinary, largely uneducated women—mobilized to confront the toxic air darkening their skies and harming their families. Over two decades, they not only challenged government and industry, but also produced their own scientific knowledge about air pollution and its impact on health, democratizing science from the ground up.

This groundbreaking book reimagines the history of environmental activism in postwar Japan. Shifting the focus from elite male voices in Tokyo to grassroots women ’ s movements in the industrial periphery, it redefines what, and who, counts in Japan’s modern democratic and ecological awakening Through an oral history approach rooted in Alltagsgeschichte (the history of everyday life), it reveals how Tobata’s women forged a path of nonconfrontational yet transformative activism, combining domestic life with civic engagement, science with social justice

Give Us Our Blue Skies Back expands our understanding of Japan’s democratization, postwar gender roles, and the rise of ecological consciousness. More than a story of protest, it is a powerful account of how housewives redefined modernity—one not driven solely by economic growth, but by cooperation, sustainability, and the right to breathe clean air.

The Gods Make You Giggle

Finding Religion in Japanese Picturebooks from the Postwar to the Postmillennial

HEATHER BLAIR

“Casual readers of the news know three things about contemporary Japan: the birth rate is declining, the economy is stagnant, and trust in religious institutions is waning. One of the brilliant things this book does is take these three bulls by their horns and place them front and center. It thinks through the statistics as intertwined realities constitutive of modern Japanese lived reality. Blair makes a wonderful argument: that picurebooks function as a recuperative technology—for adults as much as children—making a ‘safe’ kind of religion accessible and providing an ethical and emotional bulwark against the alienations of modern capitalism.” Charlotte Charlotte Eubanks Eubanks, Pennsylvania State University

“A brilliant and ambitious book that brings together religion, picture books, and childhood in Japan. It describes how Japanese picturebooks from between the 1950s and today, in text and image, ‘do religion’ while also entertaining, educating, inspiring, and amusing children and adults. This is original scholarship at its best: it will undoubtedly unsettle ideas about how religion works rather than what it is, challenge the trivialization of children and children’s books in a range of scholarly fields, and push us to consider children’s literature simply as literature.” Sabine Sabine Frühstück Frühstück, University of California, Santa Barbara

Incisive and fun, The Gods Make You Giggle draws readers into the world of Japanese picturebooks, where the sublime can erupt from the everyday and hell may just turn out to be hilarious. Juxtaposing analyses of folksy retellings, mid-century classics, and avant-garde provocations, this study crafts dynamic new perspectives on religion and history while also showcasing the richness and sophistication of one of the world’s most vibrant children’s literatures.

The Gods Make You Giggle intervenes in cultural history, Japanese studies, and the study of children’s literature in distinctive ways. By analyzing the interplay of image and text, which proves fundamental to the operation of picturebooks, it brings methods from the study of both literature and visual culture to bear on historical analysis. And by bringing Japanese materials into dialogue with the English-language study of children’s literature, which has to date focused almost exclusively on North America and Europe, it lays the groundwork for future research and responsible comparison.

Eighty-Two Days on Mt. Fuji

NONAKA CHIYOKO AND NONAKA ITARU, TRANSLATED BY HARUMI HOOD WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MARTIN HOOD

“This stunning diary and accompanying guide illuminate the extraordinary experiences and emotions of a young Japanese couple who lived on Mount Fuji for 82 days of wintry weather in 1895. The volume will fascinate anyone interested in mountaineering, survivalist techniques, and women’s history in late nineteenth-century Japan. The diary as a literary form is enriched by the frequent use of Chiyoko’s poems. Itaru’s guide gives fresh insights into Japanese science and the spirit of hiking Japan’s most iconic mountain.” Thomas R. R. H. H. Havens Havens, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley

In the winter of 1895, Nonaka Chiyoko and her husband Itaru undertook an extraordinary experiment: they held out for twelve weeks atop Mt. Fuji, battling storms, sickness, and isolation in order to record meteorological data. Later celebrated in novels, films, and television dramas, their feat was first immortalized in Chiyoko’s own lively and incisive diary, now available in English translation for the first time Eighty-Two Days on Mt Fuji presents Chiyoko’s complete journal, complemented by selected writings by her husband, situating the couple’s endeavor within the emerging scientific culture of Meiji Japan. Chiyoko, the daughter of a Noh master, defied convention and climbed the snowbound peak in secret to join her husband in the summit hut, leaving her infant daughter behind. Her diary captures not only the relentless physical demands of observation but also moments of wit, resilience, and even delight amid the mountain’s harsh winter solitude For scholars of Meiji history, women ’ s writing, Japanese science and modernity, and the global traditions of mountaineering and travel literature, Eighty-Two Days offers a rare first-person account of endurance, devotion, and discovery It illuminates the entwined histories of science and the expected roles of women in late nineteenth-century Japan, while also standing as a classic work of adventure literature in its own right.

Koryŏsa

The History of Koryŏ, Annals of the Kings, 1095–1170 (Book III and Book IV, Two-volume set)

EDITED BY HOWARD KAHM, JOHN B. DUNCAN, PARK JONGKI, LEE JOUNG HOON, AND EDWARD J. SHULTZ

Koryŏsa: The History of Koryŏ, Annals of the Kings, 1095–1170 (Book III and Book IV) continues the groundbreaking English translation of one of Korea’s most important historical texts. Covering the reigns from King Sukchong (r 1095–1105) to King Ŭijong (r 1146–1170), the original nine volumes of royal annals illuminate a pivotal era in the Koryŏ dynasty (918–1392). Where the first two translated volumes traced the dynasty’s birth and early foundations, this installment explores its political maturation and the challenges of statecraft. Readers encounter succession disputes, the turbulence of the Yi Chagyŏm rebellion of 1126 and the Myoch’ŏng rebellion of 1135, and the limits of royal authority in the face of aristocratic power and popular unrest.

At the same time, the text reveals Koryŏ’s active engagement in diplomacy, ritual, and warfare with neighboring powers—including Song China, the Khitan Liao, and the rising Jurchen Jin. These annals capture the complexity of a kingdom negotiating its place within the shifting geopolitical order of northeast Asia.

Rich in detail and critical to understanding Korea’s medieval past, these volumes are an indispensable resource for scholars of Korean history, East Asian politics, and comparative world civilizations.

Profits of Queerness Media,

Biomedicine, and Citizenship in Authoritarian South Korea, 1950–1980

TODD A HENRY

“This is a delightful contribution to modern Korean history and culture. Zooming in on the intimate lives and precarious political experience of nonheterosexual citizens of post–Korean War, Cold War–era South Korea, it uncovers a whole new terrain of historical research while offering numerous original insights into the country's formative era. The author demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of the existing queer studies literature and nicely places key issues discussed in these studies in critical dialog with those of economic and political history. Particularly notable is the creative use of diverse and often hitherto unknown archival sources. The result is a well-written, gripping account of the modern South Korean state and society in the making seen from the shadows of the state-building process.” Heonik Kwon Kwon, University of Cambridge

“Todd Henry has crafted a highly insightful and well-researched queer history of South Korea from 1950 to 1980. His study is outstanding, offering a meticulous analysis of the infrastructure of homophobia in post–Korean War society while simultaneously highlighting the resilience and defiance of queer communities. By drawing on understudied resources, such as entertainment weeklies, local newspapers, and films, Profits of Queerness illuminates the complex meaning-making process of intersexuality, gender nonconformity, and same-sex sexuality in South Korea. The author’s ability to balance theoretical depth with rich, narrative storytelling enables unprecedented criticism of the ‘hetero-authoritarianism’ deeply embedded in medical professionalization and police surveillance. Henry convincingly argues that South Korea’s path to modernity has been inextricably intertwined with this ‘hetero-authoritarianism.’”

Soyoung Soyoung Suh Suh, Dartmouth College

This groundbreaking, interdisciplinary study reassesses South Korea’s tumultuous era of authoritarian development (1950–1980) through previously obscured yet illuminating histories of queerness—defined as gender variance, atypical anatomies, and same-sex sexuality, among other nonnormative expressions. Drawing on a broad range of understudied sources, Profits of Queerness meticulously documents how the commanding but contested intersection of mass media, sexual medicine, and everyday policing reestablished such categorical distinctions as “ men ” versus “ women ” and “healthy” versus “deviant,” among other binaries.

Korea Around the Table Food and Global Korean Identities

EDITED BY RORY WALSH

Korea Around the Table: Food and Global Korean Identities brings together leading scholars to examine how Korean cuisine encodes identity, memory, and belonging across local and global contexts. From the early adoption of chili peppers on the Korean peninsula to the proliferation of sundubu jjigae restaurants in suburban New Jersey, this groundbreaking volume shows how food is not merely sustenance but a powerful site where history, culture, and community intersect.

As Korean food enters the global marketplace, the idea of what is and is not authentic Korean food becomes more contentious. Korea, long marked by division and diaspora, emerges here as more heterogeneous than nationalist narratives suggest, with its food culture continually reshaped by intercultural exchanges. The growing worldwide popularity of Korean cuisine highlights the tension between preserving traditions and reducing “Koreanness” to a fixed menu of recognizable dishes.

Drawing on perspectives from sociology, history, literature, and anthropology, the essays explore how everyday eating practices express and contest social identities, raising questions of gender, class, ethnicity, race, and the meanings of being Korean in the twenty-first century. As the first edited volume devoted entirely to food in Korea and the Korean diaspora, Korea Around the Table offers a vital resource for Korean studies, food studies, and global cultural history, while inviting readers to consider how something as ordinary as a meal can illuminate the most complex dimensions of identity

Subempire’s Embrace Sovereignty and the Geopolitics of Asylum in South Korea

NORA HUI-JUNG KIM

“With this new and insightful book, Nora Kim provides the first, path-breaking academic study focusing on the history of refugee policy in the Republic of Korea, with a highly original interpretation: the entire trajectory of refugee policy in South Korea is best understood through the lens of its role as a ‘subempire’ within the international system dominated by the United States.” Hans Hans Schattle Schattle, Yonsei University

Subempire’s Embrace is the first monograph to examine South Korea’s refugee policy and discourse from the 1950s to the present. Nora Kim, a sociologist, traces how U.S.-led wars have shaped the country’s refugee landscape from Korean War refugees and Vietnamese refugees to Yemeni asylum seekers, Karen resettlement refugees, Afghan evacuees, and North Korean defectors.

Building on critical refugee studies, the book introduces the concept of the “subempire” to argue that U.S. imperialism relies on subordinate empires to sustain its hegemony in Asia. It shows how war functions dually: producing refugees and enabling (sub)imperial expansion. South Korea’s path exemplifies this logic, emerging from an aid recipient during the Korean War to a subimperial nation during the Vietnam War, and later extending military, political, and economic influence into the Middle East and Central Asia during the war in Afghanistan. Each war has generated new categories of refugees and new rationales for their reception.

At its conceptual core, Subempire’s Embrace theorizes refugee hosting as an embrace, an exercise of sovereign power that operates through both law and violence. This framework illuminates how South Korea’s legal apparatus and war-driven interventions jointly shape its authority to determine who counts as a refugee and how they are “embraced”

Subempire’s Embrace reveals how the formation of the U.S. hegemony and the rise of the neoliberal global order have together produced a “disenchanted” refugee landscape, where refugees have shifted from Cold War symbols of anti-communism to depoliticized objects of humanitarian management. By situating South Korea within the networks of empire and war, the book redefines the geopolitics of refugee reception in contemporary Asia.

Political Divinations Making Citizens Sovereign in Buddhist Thailand

EDOARDO SIANI

“Political Divinations is an eloquent and risky (in all the best ways) ethnography of the place of magic in politics and everyday life in Thailand. Edoardo Siani moves beyond existing inadequate frameworks to develop a way of comprehending the links between the sacred and politics to contribute to religious studies, Buddhist studies, and Thai studies. What is exciting about the book is that Siani makes a call for readers to take diviners seriously, not to understand everyday religious practice of ordinary people, but to understand national politics. The ethnographic writing is eloquent and engaging. Combined with a bold methodology—becoming a practitioner of magic and the divine—this book unveils new views of politics, and new ways of thinking about how political life is made.” Soyoung Soyoung Suh Suh, Dartmouth College

In Thailand, divination is a key instrument of power In earlier times, kings deployed astrology to consolidate sovereignty in accordance with Buddhist cosmology. Once guarded within palace walls, this royal knowledge has diffused since the end of the absolute monarchy in 1932. Today, diviners range from tarot card readers to spirit mediums, and serve clients across lines of age, class, and political orientation. Figures of authority consult them to plan coups and elections, while ordinary people seek guidance on career, finance, and romance In periods of authoritarianism, their prophetic visions have sustained imaginings of democratic futures, shaping events such as the 2020–2021 youth protests. Despite this influence, diviners frequently elude scholarly accounts.

Political Divinations is the first monograph on divination and power in Thailand Based on over a decade of research, during which the author also trained and practiced as a diviner, this ethnography moves from the roadside fortune-telling markets of nocturnal Bangkok to the elite circles where renowned seers advise military generals, politicians, and business magnates.

Bridging religious and political anthropology, the book treats divination as an analytical lens to explore techniques of statecraft alongside modes of individual and collective empowerment in a contemporary Buddhist polity Siani traces a historical shift: the mass appropriation of cosmological discourse from the service of royal sovereignty to the realization of popular sovereignty.

Each Other's Destiny Rebirth and Relationship in Cambodian Buddhism

ERIK W DAVIS

Each Other’s Destiny presents stories of contemporary Cambodians who remember past lives and explores how memories of these pasts shape their present. Erik Davis examines accounts from children, adults, and elders who have retained past-life memories and reveals how Cambodians understand karma to work across lifetimes, and the central role of relationships in Buddhist moral progress. He suggests a new way of answering long-standing questions within Buddhism: what is reborn, and what does that mean we are?

The book focuses on six individuals Davis interviewed or researched extensively between 2003 and 2006. Two Cambodian women describe being kidnapped and taken to hell, revealing how near-death experiences are shaped by cultural imagination and expectations. Children who remember past lives provide insight into normative understandings of rebirth, and the karmic and ethical processes that underlie them. In one striking case, a young girl recalls being her own uncle, who died fighting for the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. Davis describes the attempt to ritually force past-life amnesia on the child, revealing the importance of relatedness and karmic debts. He identifies a view of the individual and their rebirths that centers on karmically significant relationships, described as sharing a nissăy, a word frequently translated as “destiny” or “fate.” This view, which appears normative in Cambodia, fundamentally shapes the way Cambodians think about relationships, family, maturation, and moral progress. Davis then turns to men who have deployed past-life memories for personal advantage, including former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who claims identity with a past Khmer king, and a popular lay teacher professing to be Maitreya, the buddha of the future These contrasting cases emphasize individual accomplishment and autonomy rather than relational obligations.

The final chapter follows a devout elder Buddhist woman who, as a child, integrated her past-life and present-life families. Her account exemplifies the relationality of past lives, karma, and destiny while affirming Buddhism's ultimate goal: to end rebirth and relationality entirely Through these interconnected stories, Davis argues that it is karmic relationships—not individuals—that are reborn, suggesting that we are, in a meaningful way, each other’s destiny

The Work of Romance Creating Moral Worth in Malay Women's Writing

ALICIA IZHARUDDIN

“The Work of Romance is truly brilliant. Alicia Izharuddin positions Malay romance literature within the social and cultural contexts of increased agency and social mobility for women. She demonstrates how romance writing/reading is much more than leisure: It is work, both in its production and dissemination but also in its application to women’s everyday experiences. While romance can be personally transformative, it nonetheless supplies a moral narrative and emotional structure for accepting and living with gendered inequality. Her book constitutes a significant contribution to the scholarship on romance literature.” Nancy Nancy J. Smith-Hefner Smith-Hefner, Boston University

In the Malay print romance industry, love stories are far more than entertainment. Emerging in the late 1980s amidst rapid social and cultural change, the genre gained popularity and continues to thrive, functioning as diversion, medicine, identity creation, and destiny for thousands of women. Above all, it constitutes serious work.

Malay women have established themselves as authors, editors, publishers, and devoted readers within the romance literary landscape, navigating between Islamic teachings about gender and the promises of modernity Across five years of ethnographic fieldwork in bookstores, coffee shops, publishing houses, and bookfairs, Alicia Izharuddin interviewed hundreds of women who produce and consume Malay romances in print and online. Their work centers on a fundamental question: How should romantic love be expressed, learned, regulated, and shared in contemporary Muslim society? Izharuddin reveals that for these women, romance and its pursuit represent a moral—even religious—calling. Through close engagement with love stories, she uncovers how readers develop new tools for problem-solving and self-transformation that extend far beyond temporary escape Such narratives create a distinct form of gendered labor for women seeking both marital and personal fulfillment.

The Work of Romance determines how romance fiction performs hidden yet vital cultural work and offers fresh insights into the multifaceted nature of women ’ s emotional and intellectual labor It makes a pioneering contribution to gender studies, feminist literary history, and the sociology of print culture in Asia and Muslim-majority societies.

Now comes a collection showcasing some of the varied and exciting voices in SWANA writing in English. The immigrant and diasporic writers who trace their roots to SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) in the United States are many. Composed of Arabs and Persians, Ethiopians and Sudanese, Moroccans and Afghanis, Armenians and Kurds, and many other groups besides, the SWANA community is linked by culture and history but vast. SWANA people are not a monolith, and neither are its writers. Post-9/11, SWANA and its people have been misunderstood and often villainized in popular culture This collection, powerfully edited by Glenn Shaheen, celebrates the indomitable spirit and striking imagination of SWANA writing

Plants and People of Pohnpei

MARK MERLIN, DANKO TABOROSI, AND JAMES JUVIK

This book explores the vital relationship between people and plants in Pohnpei State, in the Federated States of Micronesia, offering an engaging introduction to the island’s botany, ecology, and traditional knowledge systems. It highlights how generations of communities have depended on local plants for food, medicine, shelter, and cultural practices, shaping sustainable ways of life in remote island environments. While this knowledge is increasingly threatened by social and technological change, the book shows how it continues to support resilience and environmental stewardship today Richly illustrated with photographs and drawings, it stands as a celebration of Pohnpei’s botanical and cultural heritage, as well as an invitation for readers to learn from the local environment and traditions.
